Hi. Did a search but couldn’t find an answer. Just bought 1st Interrail pass and planning trip from UK to France & Spain. Made seat reservations online OK for initial UK / France part of holiday. However, can’t make seat reservations online for Spanish part of holiday. We are travelling to 7 Spanish cities and booking accommodation so need to be sure we can reserve train seats / tickets. Can we do this in advance in the UK before we leave or only when we arrive in Spain which seems a bit risky as we will have already booked accommodation? Please advise the best way to do this. many thanks in advance.

I bought an Interrail global pass (for my 4-person family) to travel from Rotterdam to Barcelona by train. However it now seems to me that it is impossible to make the seat reservations on the dates we want to travel.I use https://www.raileurope.com/en to plan for the full trip or for the trip in parts. However it repeats to says that “rail pass doesn't apply for this trip".Does this mean that I cannot make the trip on the date that I wanted to?This would mean that I cannot use the Interrail card and I have bought it for nothing?Anyone who can help me out to find a way to travel from Rotterdam to Barcelona on April 28th or April 29th?

Kann man mit einem "Interrail-4-tagespass in einem monat" (für ein bestimmtes land) öfters in das jeweilige Land ein-  und ausreisen, oder darf man nur einmal ein-, und einmal ausreisen? 

Hi,Trying to book 3 seats for 9.01 (0r 8.34) it changes!, for Saturday 19th July from London St Pancras to Salzburg. I am desperate to start reserving seats as mum going Interrailing for 3 weeks with my teenage girls and want to get it all confirmed. I realise the final two parts of the journey on German trains are (I think) not available to book yet.But tried to book first leg of journey (London to Brussels Midi and Brussels Midi to Frankfurt), remembering to reserve seats, and it all goes through until payment. Then will not let me, says error with part of journey.Is it just that the seats are still not available to book yet? I don't want it to fill up. I also tried to book our journey home 3 weeks later on Friday 9th August, overnight Nightjet train from Vienna to London and similar thing happened, this was on the OBB website using Method 1 (as explained on Man in seat 61, a life saver for many!)I would be grateful for any reassurance!

Hi everyone. The Interrail/Eurail website has consistently been telling me that reservations for this service open 90 days prior to travel date, in my case 22 October. Reservations therefore ‘opened’ a couple of days ago yet the only option I am given on Interrail is a second class seat and, on OBB, the option to reserve a section of the seating compartment. From others’ knowledge and experience, will the sleeping berths have sold out, which seems increasingly likely as tickets look like they’ve been available on OBB for months! If this is the case then the reservations section on the Interrail website contains misleading information. Many thanks Richard

We are planning to travel in May some days from The Netherlands to Paris to Barcelona and back.We can't seem to find what is the most handiest way to travelWe don't see much difference with 1st and 2nd class? Probably for such long er trips there will always come a space available, so is it really neccesary to reserve spots? Would a 4 days pass be enough to do our travel?

I have the 10 days in 2 months promo pass, and the last Activation date is June 1st. (and the last day of travel is July 31st).  I would prefer to use my travel days in late June / early July. Is there any way to activate the pass for June 1st, but not have the first travel day until mid June? Or would I have to ‘sacrifice’ one of my 10 days to show a (fake) journey on 1st June?  

Hi Interrailers (and hopefully Interrail customer service)Not a happy bunny – been planning a trip starting in May (10 days, theoretically over 2 months) and most of the planning hinges on the Nightjet from Paris to Berlin (or Vienna).The Eurail/Interrail app clearly states, in red letters, “Prices for this journey will start to be available 90 days before departure”.OK, so i checked out the departure on 27 April, to see what changed when the date came within that 90-day window. At midnight plus one nanosecond, then every few minutes.No prices available.So i checked on the ÖBB Nightjet website and what do i see? “Seats can usually be booked 180 days in advance”. And indeed when you try their booking engine, it allows you to specify any date 180 days from now.Result: there is zero availability from May onwards. Zero.If it weren’t for the notice in red letters on the Eurail/Interrail app i might have had a chance of getting a Nightjet reservation to somewhere. As it stands, hours and hou

Hello! I have a question about the Eurail Global Pass! I am planning to use the Eurail Global Pass for 10 days starting Feb 2. However, when I made my reservation I mistyped my name with two capital letters "TOmohiro" instead of "Tomohiro". Will this interfere with my use of Eurail in Europe?

End of March I’m on a fast trip to southern Italy. One possible route takes the Inoui 2369 from Paris Gare de l’Est to Strasbourg and then connects to the TER 96225 down to Basel but this only gives a14 min connection time (at 15:40 on a Wed afternoon). The INOUI are pretty prompt but I’m not familiar with Strasbourg statation. Is this too tight? There are no later trains if I take this route! 

Hi All, We have some queries regarding Euro Rail. How do we activate this Pass?  Can we travel on the local trains within the city by this ticket? If I have to book seats, do I need to book it on the regional train websites ?

We will be based in Florence, Italy for 14 days and want to go to a few other cities for a day or two. Thinking about Vienna, Venice and Paris or Munich.  We want to know the best way to get to them by train.

Hi !I’m going to travel for the first time with an interrail pass : from France to Stockholm, Narvik, the down the norwegian coast to Oslo and Copenhagen. Departure on feB 17th.I bought the pass in november and installed it on my mobile but the phone broke. I bought a new one, evereything seemed  fine so I installed the app and transfered my pass. But then, after a few days, I do not have a connection anymore : neither by the SIM card, nor the 4/5G.The pass is still not activated.Could I transfer it again to another phone, given that it’s not activated yet ? I read can you can only transfer once but I don’t know if it only applies when the pass is activated…Starting to get a bit anxious about it…Thanks !Franck.

Hello, I want to ask you about a reservation on SNCB international.I made a reservation of 2nd class seat as eurail pass holder on SNCB international. Although I have a 2nd class pass, I mistakenly chose 1st class pass holder. I think it isn’t so serious problem because I’m a 2nd pass holder and I bought a 2nd class seat. However, I want to make sure it’s okay or not. 

How far advance can seat reservation can be made for SNCF/TGV train from Switzerland (Basel or Zurich) or Strasbourg to Paris?? We are planning to travel at the end of May. Currently not too many options showing on SNCF website, and on Eurail website, all show Pass not Valid, I understand it is too soon to make a seat reservation, but can anyone help me with the timeline please ?? Thanks so much

I'm a Eurail 2nd pass customer and I'm creating my journey, but on my way from Schiphol to Brussels Midi it appears that I need supplements.I want to take the regional train trip at 8:43 on February 18, 2023.Should I do something with this add-in or is it a mistake?Do I need to pay something? Just add it to my journey? Do I need to buy something at the train station?

Why can’t I find a train via global europass from Venice to Milan and Milan to Locarno 

I discovered a train journey listed on the Rail Planner App, departing from Muenchen Hbf and arriving at Heidelberg Hbf, scheduled for 07:46 - 10:44. However, I couldn't find this particular train in the Seat Reservation System. Can I use my Eurail Pass for this journey?

Hello,  I am planning on travelling to several destinations in Europe beginning in February. I purchased a 2 month, 10 day travel pass. I just reserved my seats to go from Milan to Bern, and I received an email providing me with a QR code. I have also connected my pass to the Rail Planner app. To my understanding, once I click the button on one of my selected journeys, I will be given another QR code under the “passes” section of the app. Is this QR to use one of my 10 days of travel? do I need both QR codes to board the train, or only the one from booking my reservation?

3 of us have bought passes individually but want to access our trip from different mobile devices is this possible or do we all need to be logged into the same account?

 I start my interrrail today. I have 6 days in a month. Tomorrow I do not want to use it. Do I need to do something or just dont open it all day ?

I would like to ask some questions about tours in Switzerland. I bought the Eurail Pass Global, what do I still need to buy to go to Mount Titlis?The same question applies to getting to Junhfraujoch.Does the Eiraul pass also cover the journey from Interlaken to Grindelwald?Does the Eiraul pass also cover the journey from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen?
